Abacadaba Web Development

abacadaba wrote all scripts and did all the design for peacesymbol.org

PeaceSymbol.org is a tribute to the peace symbol (aka the peace sign or CND logo). Corporations have used logos to effectively promote consumption. Likewise the peace symbol is a logo that can be used to promote peace and social justice.

PeaceSymbol.org believes that by providing peace related clip art and inspirational images one can evangelize the use of the peace sign on websites, posters, t-shirts, mugs, etc. which in turn will promote peace and social justice.

abacadaba wrote all scripts and did all the design for clipartist.net

clipartist.net aggregates, annotates and enhances public domain and creative commons clip art.  This is an experiment in developing search for SVG images.  commons.wikimedia.org and openclipart.org are great sites but difficult to search.  clipartist.net develops python and perl scripts to collect, enhance (e.g. resize, recolor) and annotate (e.g. determine the colors in an SVG image) and add those as  meta information for the image. clipartist.net also has python scripts to automatically add posts to a Wordpress database.

This is an ongoing experiment and a sandbox for playing with SVG images. Exactly what clipartist.net does to work with SVG based clip art will depend on what seems dobale and useful. clipartist.net basically tries stuff by writing scripts to play with SVG data and looks to see whether those scripts adds any value to what exists on commons.wikimedia.org and openclipart.org
